With four of the six Europe spots on the line in Challengers

SK Gaming dismantle Excel Esports, pick up first win of 2021 LEC Summer Split

SK Gaming defeated Excel Esports today in a 30-minute game during week three of the 2021 LEC Summer Split, securing their first win of the League of Legends split. The win was crucial for SK, who had a rough start of the split after swapping Treatz to the jungle and adding their head coach to the support position. For this weekend’s games, the organization promoted their academy support Philipp Samuel “Lilipp” Englert. While he didn’t have the most impressive debut match yesterday, he did shine in today’s match against Excel by

The former CS:GO player reportedly didn’t adapt to G2’s new VALORANT lineup after all the roster changes the organization made in early June—replacing Patryk “paTiTek” Fabrowski, Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks,

LEC Power Rankings: 2021 Summer Split Week 2

After a wild opening week to the 2021 LEC Summer Split, the league is starting to stabilize. The teams that we thought would rise to the top did so in week two, while several back-end contenders are still making moves.  The LEC is showing early signs of stability in comparison to other leagues around the world, as just two teams swapped spots in our power rankings between weeks one and two. Still, the league is expected to shift and mold itself throughout the summer, as the next seven weeks are

Fnatic take down Excel, bounce back after shaky start in 2021 LEC Summer Split

Fnatic defeated Excel Esports today in a controlled game during week two of the 2021 LEC Summer Split, despite a rough start to the split. This win was crucial for Fnatic. The org recently role-swapped Bwipo to the jungle position and acquired a new top laner. The League of Legends team had a shaky start to the split, losing two of their three matches in the first week of the 2021 LEC Summer Split, but seem to be bouncing back with two clean wins this week. The game was far

LEC power rankings: 2021 Summer Split week one

The LEC shifted pretty heavily after week one of the 2021 Summer Split, with several teams rising from the dust to post shocking records. Misfits and Astralis surprisingly dominated the conversation during the split’s first week, while the recently-established triple threat of MAD Lions, G2 Esports, and Rogue quietly stewed in the background, all finishing with respectable winning records on the week.  But there are eight more weeks on the board for the LEC and it’d be downright foolish to prematurely judge the landscape of the region after just three

G2 to reportedly replace pyth with keloqz

G2 Esports is set to make another VALORANT roster change ahead of VCT Stage Three. The team led by Oscar “mixwell” Cañellas will bench Jacob “pyth” Mourujärvi to open space for the arrival of Wassim “keloqz” Cista, according to a report by French website 1pv.fr. The European team already made an overhaul following a streak of mixed results that culminated in the squad missing the VCT Masters Two Reykjavík event. G2 let Patryk “paTiTek” Fabrowski, Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks, and Aleksander “zeek” Zygmunt go and replaced them with the Heretics duo of Auni “AvovA” Chahade
